Matisyahu had been working on his third album for nearly two years, making it the longest time he has ever spent making a record. The follow-up to Youth had been delayed several times before its release. First scheduled for early 2008, Light was pushed back numerous times because Matisyahu continued to tour off and on since the release of Youth. The new album's release date was set for April 21, 2009, but on March 3, the release date was pushed back to May 12, 2009.Read Full BioMatisyahu had been working on his third album for nearly two years, making it the longest time he has ever spent making a record. The follow-up to Youth had been delayed several times before its release. First scheduled for early 2008, Light was pushed back numerous times because Matisyahu continued to tour off and on since the release of Youth. The new album's release date was set for April 21, 2009, but on March 3, the release date was pushed back to May 12, 2009. Then, once again, he pushed the release back, this time to Summer 2009, ostensibly because Matisyahu decided to record more new songs. That date had already passed, and in a message from Matisyahu on Twitter the album is due to release on August 25th. On May 27th, Matisyahu's FaceBook page stated that the album was going to come out on August 25th. On June 23rd Light was made available for preorder on iTunes, with the single "One Day" available for download at the same time. Eventually, the official release date of August 25 was settled on, and stands, pending unforeseen setbacks.

Dream awake (dream awake), said get 'em and get 'em and go aah, get 'em and get 'em and go aah
Oh, dream-a-dream awake (dream awake)
Dream awake, said get 'em and get 'em and go aah (dream awake)

Dream awake make no mistake
Strive to be alive most everyday
You can listen stereo or monotone
Mega phone, mellow drone DJ with delay
Relay super surfer high stereo sound

Radio station super space nation fight the foe
This one's about to blow up
Two flews over the cuckoo's nest and won't rest
Bless up with no vest with a shield to protect

Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Wake up, stand up and jump off to this (some piece of mind from the daily grind)
(Smash lies) wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this

Dream awake (dream awake), said get 'em and get 'em and go aah, get 'em and get 'em and go aah
Oh, dream-a-dream awake (dream awake)
Dream awake, said get 'em and get 'em and go aah (dream awake)

Dream awake, find lines to move guys rely on a vision
Filled with rhymes, the room is filled with villains and ghosts
We toast and coast to the next host
Many boast of battles won and the day is fading fast

The work is passed through the self-destruction
Why you wanna burn, why you wanna drown?
Why you wanna die by the highway?
The front lines intertwine

Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this (some piece of mind from the daily grind)
Stand up, said wake up, stand up

We'll bounce over beats and rock shows
So fast so slow never know where the day may go
Bounce and we bubble over hills and valleys

We go through the fields of green in-between destinies
Or just get high, nah there's no need (said wake up, stand up and jump off to this)
No need to feed on the scraps of the enemy (said wake up, stand up and jump off to this)
Where's the bad guy, on the inside one day I might try

Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this (wake up, up, jump off to this)
Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Dream-a-dream awake, dream awake
Some peace of mind from the daily grind
Smash lies, dream awake
Stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, dream awake, jump off to this
Dream awake

This is one of my Favorites, Never forget your leap of faith.
Shalom, Y'shua is HaMoshiach. Remember my brothers and sisters, Equal Weights and Measures, Malachi is just YHVH's "Double Dap".. Dual Prophetic Fulfillments.
Be not fooled by the Great deception. Read John and KNOW that He came in the SPIRIT AND POWER of Elijah.. But we were NOT ready, Your Messiah has come, and Will return again to create the New Earth and Man, and Elijah will proceed him, HaSatan, The Adversary, has one more day.
